First Light with ASI924MC Pro

[mightymonoped]

Actually my first ever image with a dedicated astro camera, so be gentle with me! 🙂

Still extremely limited in choice of targets as I am confined to my flat's light-polluted balcony overlooking a car park with lots of LED lights.

I managed to get 3 Hours worth of M101 with the Redcat51 and Optolong L-Pro filter on a StarAdventurerTracker using the ZWO ASIAIR for PA, guiding, autofocus and capture.

This is a crop of the quickly-processed (I was excited) image.
